[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My UofC science kid is a daughter who is turned off by grandstanding. There’s the occasional “that kid,” but it’s not the norm. Profs have been great and very supportive (and that has been true both in classes where she was struggling and in classes where she excelled). Cooperation among students has been the norm in her experience — not “combat” or hyper-competitiveness. Basically, with a 6:1 student to faculty ratio, there’s more than enough attention to go around — and the scientists DD’s working with are really clear that their work is inherently collaborative and “plays well with others” is an important attribute for a successful career. Lots of interaction across ranks — both in classes and labs.[/quote] Great post.[/quote]
